Bread 

The Kind Mother Used to Make 

The flour of daily service. The vitalized leaven 
of undying love, moistened with unfailing 
sympathy, seasoned with tender admonitions; 
stirred with desire for your highest good ; kneaded 
into oneness by the hand of Providence; baked 
by the flame of spiritual supplication. 

We thank Thee, O Light of God, 

that through the tender face of Motherhood 

Thou hast shone upon 

our souls.

A Flapjack 

Take almost any self-assured lover, brown 
him over the fire of uncertainty first on one 
side of his nature, then give him a sudden turn 
and brown him on the other. 

If you are pleased with the result and desire 
to incorporate him into your life, remove him 
to a place of safety before his interest has a 
chance to scorch ; butter him with kindness and 
sweeten him well. 

In the uncertain and freakish 

ways of love let us be thankful for any turn 

which brings about a 

happy crisis.

Ash Cake 

The usual every-day cakes baked in the ashes 
of sorrow. 
Let all the home workers attend to them with 
the hand of love that the ashes may not scorch 
them. 

Let the one to whom they belong remove 
them as soon as they are done. 

They are said to be sweet and wholesome if 
rightly cared for. 

We are thankful for the 

love and sympathy which makes it impossible 

for grief to quite sere 

our lives.

Pop-Overs 

A large measure of indefiniteness of purpose; 
blanched principles of the dwarfed variety, 
ground fine; well-beaten love of approbation. 
Stir well together with the silver spoon of dis- 
inclination for hard work. 

Drop into oil of popularity. They will pop 
over as the bubbling oil dictates until all sides 
have been on top. 

These pop-overs always look attractive and 
are supposed to agree with every one, but taste 
rather flat. 

We are thankful 

for help to find our true 

selves.

Stuffing for Thanksgiving Turkey 

Gather and mix a variety of fresh thanks 
for the common blessings of life. The fol- 
lowing make a good combination : That you are 
even as good looking as you are. That whatever 
life denies you, it is sure to push you into oppor- 
tunities for character growth. 

Thanks for will power. For the charm of in- 
dividuality, — that which makes you unique in the 
universe. That your emotional nature is sound 
and exquisitely responsive. Thanks for friends 
and that those who have passed on walked be- 
side you so long. Thanks that life has infinite 
perspective, that though veil after veil be lifted, 
there's veil after veil beyond. Thanks for a grow- 
ing compassion for the turkey. 

We rejoice that it has entered 
the hearts of an entire nation to keep each year 
a public thanksgiving

New Year's Cakes 

Take the flour of good resolutions ; sweeten 
with a soothed conscience; enrich with 
plans for the future; make light with hope. 

Roll out, cut into perfect circles and use your 
imagination to stamp with pictures of beautiful 
possibilities. 

We thank ^Thee that 

our book of life so often opens 

to white, unwritten 

pages.

Seed Cakes 

One and one-half cups of meditation; one 
and one-half cups of work; three-fourths 
cups of recreation ; daily experiences well beaten. 
Stir through all the care-away seeds of cheerful 
suggestions and cheerful points of view. 

Roll this dough out and form into cookies 
with your love-of-beauty cutter. 

Let us be glad of 

good things full of comfort 

germs.

Bride's Cake 

Rose-tinted hopes, girlish graces, woman's 
trust, heart's devotion, a mother's prayer, a 
father's blessing, home tenderness, gay good-byes. 
All mixed, flavored and decorated with enthusi- 
asm over the bride, the one. 

God grant that through 

the door of passionate love for one, I step 

into the sunlight of love 

for all.

Icing 

To a large measure of conventional good- 
breeding add the sugar of friendliness ; fla- 
vor with the extract of charm ; beat well together. 
This will add distinction to the company 
cake, attraction to the home cake, and make 
sweeter each sweet morsel. 

Let us not despise 

the sweet surface-shine of 

things.

Washington Cake 

Four cups of the flour of truthfulness; two 
cups of the butter of generosity, sweetened 
with two cups of high ideals, made light with 
coufage and patriotism, flavored with sagacity. 
Add the fruits of fame and love. 

When well baked cover with icing prepared 
as in a previous recipe. Decorate with preserved 
cherries and cut with a small silver hatchet. 

We praise for heroic 

souls and for the joyful emotion 

of reverence.

Columbia Salad 

Take a quantity of the flowers of altruistic 
toleration and benevolence, tear from their 
petals the blighting lava of greed of gain ; take 
the roots of patriotism and cut away the cankers 
of political selfishness, mix with these vigorous 
self-confidence, resilient fortitude, ready humor, 
intellectual brilliancy, ingenuity, resourcefulness, 
imaginative power, initiative, courage, daring, 
adaptability, youthful crudeness, poetic fervor, 
business shrewdness, and spiritual aspiration. 

In composing a salad for the American palate 
you may add almost any element used in other 
countries. Serve in gilded individual dishes, dec- 
orated with red, white and blue ribbons. 

May the time come when 

man can truthfully say of our beloved Columbia, 

" You, you so per feci and so peerless, are 

created of every nation *s best"

[«5] 

English Salad 

Cut up the meat of sincerity, add pieces from 
the underlying roots of love, religious devo- 
tion and other profound emotions ; add the fruits 
of force and courage, the stalks of self-assertion 
and the nuts of egoism. 

Dredge over these a thick layer of dried and 
powdered leaves of precedent and routine, and 
mix through all petals from the flowers of a 
glorious imagination. 

Pour over the salad a dressing composed of 
seriousness, thinned and spiced with Norman 
versatility and brilliance. Serve in individual 
dishes and decorate with a plenty of red tape the 
sprigs of brusque or embrassed manners with 
which it is customary to garnish. 

We thank Thee that we are 

still growing and may hope to develop a noble 

humility and unselfishness.

Hibernian Salad 



Take freshly boiled tubers of impulsive kind- 
ness, cut into small pieces, marinate with 
sweet spirits of hilarity, and let cool ; mix with 
an equal quantity of stalks of pugnacity; add the 
tendrils of credulity and the stuffed olives of 
ready wit. 

Use a dressing made from the abundant use 
of the oil of eloquence and " a little soft twang 
for the turn of the tongue," season with the 
mustard of braggadocio and salt with reckless 
bravery. 

Upon the bowl, underlying the 6*ther ingredi- 
ents, place the green leaves of fine susceptibilities. 
Garnish with the shamrock leaves of hopefulness. 

We are glad that 

there are natures that keep in close 

touch with the exuberant 

elemental forces.

Salade a la Fran9ais 

Cut intellectual keenness, ambition and brav- 
ery into definite ornamental forms; add 
blooms from the pastime of love and other light 
and pleasing emotions; the leaves of brilliant wit 
and a cluster of tactful compliments. 

Arrange effectively in an ornamental salad 
bowl, saturate with enthusiasm in the sparkling, 
effervescent state, and stir in lightly a French 
dressing composed of the oil of charm seasoned 
with verve and gaiety, and thinned with the 
delicate acid of raillery. 

Up from the deeps 

of life, Eternal Truth, let Thy 

spirit flow into our surface 

consciousness.

Pimento Salad 

(Spanish) 

To the stalks of self-esteem from any shrub 
of the family, self-respect, self-reliance, fear- 
lessness, pride or pomposity, add the pimentos 
of fiery energy, and an equal quantity of indo- 
lence; stir in valor, chivalry and romance until 
well mixed. 

Pour over these the oil of love of the intensely 
personal, not the altruistic, brand, into which 
you have rubbed indifference to suffering, hard 
boiled, and several pinches of religious zeal. 
Garnish with a wreath of feminine beauty. 

O Perfect Life, heal "Thou 

our circulation, that through every vein and 

artery of the national char abler 

a universal sympathy 

may flow.

Dutch Salad 



Take some tenacious Dutch customs, hack 
off their heads and tails with the knife of 
progress, smoke them in the contemplative fumes 
of deliberation for a year or two, place them in 
the center of a dish of homely design but costly 
material ; heap around them some well-told rem- 
iniscences of a splendid past, and the fruits of a 
robust courage, patriotism, thrift and faith. 

Pour over all the national oil of good common 
sense. Garnish with a few sprigs of jovial mirth. 

We give thanks 

for Holland^ that the future as well 

as the past is hers.

Salade Japanese 

Take the "respected" dish of intellectual re- 
ceptivity, and into it place the pounded ses- 
ame seeds of impressionable emotionality; add 
orange slices of feminine loveliness encased in the 
crystallized sugar of exquisite politeness and the 
chrysanthemum petals of national light-hearted- 
ness, carefully washing off all tendency to un- 
truthfulness. Pour over all a fine artistic spirit, 
a delicate poetic sense, and a dessertspoonful of 
fickleness. Eat with the salted plums of patriot- 
ism and courage. 

For most honorable enjoyment 

in this naive, flower-loving, nature-joying, 

brave-hearted, delightful little 

people, we, the nations, 

give thanks.

Christmas Pudding 

Take equal parts of sweet considerations, 
tokens of remembrance, forgivenesses, per- 
sonal attentions, loving kindnesses for the unfor- 
tunate, cheer for the sorrowing, messages for the 
absent. Soak in the spirit of universal brother- 
hood. Mix with love-wishes for all the world. 
When done pour over it a child-like spirit, light 
with the flame of mirth, and serve at once. 

We offer that 

truest grace — hearts glowing with 

gratitude.

Peach Dumplings 

Place plenty of fresh milk on the inside of 
any two-year-old girl or boy. Add early 
bed-time hours and day-time naps; season with 
fresh air and sunshine; sweeten with smiles and

dumpling shape. 

Let the race rejoice 

that life dashes against its breast 

the tender tide of 

babyhood.

Cream Puffs 

Abit of longed-for admiration expressed with 
the flavor of genuineness, stirred to a froth 
in the mind of the recipient, baked in the first 
flush of enjoyment and filled with the substantial 
cream of respect for the originator. 

A wholesome dessert when added to a rather 
meagre diet if not partaken of too often. 

We give thanks that 

we may sometimes see ourselves as 

those who admire 

us see us.

Gooseberry Pie 

The berries are generally omitted now, the 
following imitation being a more popular 
filling: 

Fricassee the Golden Rule in compromise 
liquor; add a pulverized sense of justice and 
several pinches of self-deception. 

Cover with a rich crust of abnormal wealth 
and bake quickly. 

Usually served at public banquets given in be- 
half of the ignorant poor. It is a dish sure to 
attract much attention, but the chef is seldom 
able to disguise the absence of the real fruit. 

From the pastime of 

"stealing from Peter to pay Paul" 

good Lord deliver us.

Whipped Silly-Bubs 

One cup of reflection as to why you were 
whipped — /. e. 9 was it because you had 
broken some law? Did fear creep in, or were 
your muscles weak, or did you become excited 
and "lose your head"? Or if an examination 
whipped you, had you been idle during the term ? 
Knowledge that nearly or quite all of the 
world's great men have been whipped at some 
time by something or somebody, at least once. 
Beat vigorously, with the resolve to do better 
next time. 

Eat this mixture slowly and sweeten it with 
a couple of cookies or a piece of pie, if any come 
your way. 

We are glad that 

we can always comfort ourselves with the 

thought — it might have 

been worse.

A Boston Pudding 

Equal parts of inherited scholarly tastes and 
present-day culture, flavored with desire for 
artistic perfection, sweetened by kindly assistance 
for the crude but aspiring. Add nuts of abstruse 
philosophy, cracked by a Browning Club and 
picked out with a fine critical sense. 

Bake slowly, and serve in a dish of classic 
mould, wreathed with laurel. 

Let us give thanks that 

we were born in Boston^ or at least that 

we know some -people 

who were.

Hygienic Appetizers 

Worry is an ingredient that is apt to slip 
into almost any preparation. Try to assist 
it to jump from the frying-pan into the fire. 
You will find that you have a growing relish 
for whatever is left. 

Place yourself where you can get and give 
each day a drink from the cup of love and ap- 
preciation. As the heart hunger is satisfied the 
physical hunger is sure to awaken. 

Live and work in the open air; drink the 
magnetized tonic given out by all hearty grow- 
ing things. 

Help us to realize that we 

are not the creatures, but the masters, 

of desire.

Pepper Ketchup 

A spunky temper, a witty tongue, a ready-

wise discrimination. Take a generous dose every- 
day; it will help you to assimilate with benefit 
and enjoyment many of life's repasts, which would 
otherwise disagree with you. 

" IV e praise that there 

is more love about us than we can 

possibly perceive."

Cured Tongue 

Peaceful silence; meditation on the good 
qualities of your neighbors. Rub the tongue 
with this mixture every day. 

Spirit of praise ; sympathy instead of curiosity ; 
conversation on impersonal topics. 

Make a strong solution of these, skim as long 
as the scum of adverse criticism arises. Pour it 
over the tongue daily. Examine the solution 
frequently and skim whenever necessary. This 
treatment will cure any tongue of the gossip 
twang. 

Help us to remember that 

from our own spirit an individual element 

forms itself into our 

simplest words.

Beverages 

Who will say that the wine of joy, 

the strong stimulant of a mighty enthusiasm, and 

the cordial of appreciation are not as real 

as any visible, tangible beverage 

of them all.

Cocktail 

Place in the bottom of a glass one strong 
acknowledgment that you are "bigger than 
anything that can happen to you." 

Pour over it several recollections of crises 
through which you have passed and "made good/' 
If possible, add some trustful assurance in the 
Universal Power, — some of the good old vintage 
which has been drawn on for generations. 

Add a little grit pepper sauce and a few pre- 
served hopes. A very stimulating conco&ion when 
one is weary or disappointed. 

We are thankful that 

the right spiritual stimulant makes a 

physical stimulant 

unnecessary.

Several measures of kindly advice followed 
by one measure of serious rebuke. Add to 
this three strong warnings, then a grip of the 
hand and a thorough shaking; finally a vigorous 
beating with a wooden paddle until repentance 
effervesces. 

This is usually partaken of by father and the 
boy, in father's sanclum, but is often followed by 
a cake of consolation with mother, eaten between 
sobs — a tousled head pressed against her breast. 

The grace of thankfulness 

is seldom said until several years after 

the gift of early discipline 

has been received.

Birch Beer 

Twigs of Sweet Birch picked here and there 
in the course of a springtime walk. 

Nibble the bark and enjoy its pungent flavor. 
Add a few stalks of mint or watercress and a 
copious draught of spring water. Sweeten with 
deep inhalations of the wild delicious odors 
everywhere present. 

Do not fear to yield yourself to the intoxicat- 
ing exhilaration with which the springtime air 
is filled and which is especially evident in this 
kind of birch beer. 

We give thanks that 

nature distils for her children so many 

draughts effervescing with 

enjoyment.

Lemonade 

Dilute the acid of an unexpedted rebuff with 
a refreshing stream of independence ; sweeten 
with humor; cool with indifference to ridicule 
and drink with gaiety. 

We give thanks

unfailing sweets.

Mead 

Honey of sweet influences extracted from the 
fragrance of beautiful characters. Pour over 
it memories and impressions of nature-beauty. 

Add a vision or two of "the light that never 
was, on sea or land." 

Leave open in the atmosphere of appreciation 
for awhile and then bottle for future use. 

You will find when the dust of the common- 
place is particularly trying that often the cork 
will pop out of one of these bottles and the re- 
freshing mead gush forth. 

We thank 'Thee 

for our response to beauty, visible 

and invisible.

Fudge 

Three cups of must-have-some-fun-anyway ; 
one cup of can't-afford-to-worry-about- 
these-lessons; one tablespoonful of suppressed 
giggles or open laughter; three or four table- 
spoonfuls of good comradeship. 

Flavor with witty nothings. 

This fudge should be made by two or more 
persons as it does not taste just right if made by 
one alone. Stir and boil fifteen minutes. Each 
member of the party should take part in the stir- 
ring. When the ingredients are perfectly united 
remove from the fire. 

Partaken of too often this fudge interferes 
with the assimilation of more nutritious foods, 
but as an occasional treat it is very wholesome. 

We are certainly 

grateful for a little sweet nonsense 

now and then.

Stuffed Dates 

Pick over your dates, and separating those of 
disaster, disappointment and any you find an- 
noying, throw them out of your memory. Take 
the others which commemorate great deliver- 
ances, special joys, the birth of a friendship, etc., 
and stuff them well with gratitude. You will 
find them not only delicious but extremely nour- 
ishing when your faith seems weak. 

We give thanks that there 

are many days in our lives so bright that 

we do not have to strain our 

eyes to see the blessings 

which they bring.

Conserve of Roses 

Take the enthusiasms of early loves, the thrill 
of awakening power, and joy-tinted dreams ; 
dip them in hope and allow them to boil in the 
spirit of enchantment until they slowly crystallize. 
As they cool lay them away for future enjoyment. 

Whenever you can pause 

to think of it in life's sweet hurry , 

praise for the rose-strewn 

heart of girlhood.

Cure for Unpopularity— I 

Unpopularity is usually the result of a poi- 
soned or anasmic condition of the envelop- 
ing aura of the person afflicted. 

Hatred, fault-finding, suspicion and all kindred 
feelings toward one's fellow-beings emit a mias- 
matic taint which will be consciously or subtly 
felt by those who come into his soul atmosphere. 

Remedy 

A charity which positively rejoices in finding 
good qualities in one's neighbors, two ounces. 

A frank friendliness which draws its own kind 
from other hearts and disarms slights, three 
ounces. A yearning not only to be blessed but 
to bless, two ounces. 

Rejoice that for every 

villain we may find a thousand angels 

if we will.

Cure for Unpopularity — II 

Self-absorption, chilling reserve of manner, 
bluntness and indifference, or fear and fretful- 
ness, make one's personal atmosphere cold, color- 
less and lacking in magnetic force. 

Remedy 
The cure for this condition lies in daily exer- 
cise. First, open the doors of your soul; then 
vigorously radiate upon others the warmth of 
sympathy and appreciation. Finally, exercise all 
your faculties of entertainment until you are in 
a glow with humor, beautiful with responsive 
thought, and rhythmic with harmony. Practice 
these exercises upon all who come into your pres- 
ence and you will magnetize your social ether. 

Thanks for a happy 

way to become a fascinating 

creature.

Shaving Soap 

Essence of restful sleep, three ounces; good 
humor, two ounces ; sweet spirits of praise, 
seven drams; humility, three ounces. Stir well 
together. Let harden and cut into cakes. 

Make a lather of this soap whenever you 
shave. 

Use the razor of self-mastery and you will 
easily shave off that rank growth of calm, supe- 
rior flaw-picking, which is the masculine method 
of unnecessary fault-finding in the home. 

Be thankful that the others 

are lovelier than you see them, 'That beam 

in your eye would distort a seraph* s 

smiles. Until you remove it you 

cannot even see to shave 

correclly.

Cure for a Jealous Disposition 

Take the extrad: of the knowledge that love 
cannot be forced but must be attracted, two 
ounces; the essence of unselfish desire for the 
happiness of those you love, two ounces; good 
common sense, seven drams ; merry independence, 
six drams. Mix all together. Sweeten with an 
evident enjoyment of whatever happy distractions 
may come your way. 

Make capsules of all the personal attractions 
you possess and fill them with the compound. 

Do not wait until you feel an attack of the 
malady coming on, but take a capsule three times 
a day. 

Remember, jealousy says 

no grace but is an imp who delights 

to draw into full view every 

weak and unlovely trait 

you have.
